SIX CENT IMPROVEMENT AT THE PUMP IN PAST WEEK

Gas prices are continuing a trend downwards, making your wallet feel a little heavier. Local gas prices dropped six cents in the past week, settling at a $3.25 per gallon average, according to AAA Mid-Atlantic. This is five cents less than the same time last year. Analysts predict that on average, the price at the pump should be less in 2014 as refineries pump out more product.
